Is it the same bad paper quality of the latest Daredevil and Spider-Man volumes? From what I understand the latest books were printed by a different company than Marvel has previously used. They haven't publicly commented on it AFAIK but I'd imagine that at least some of the books coming out over the next few months will have the bad paper as they were already sent out to be printed. Hopefully Marvel is aware and will stop using said printing company for future orders.
Yeah, same crappy paper. I expect quite a few more trades (across the line, not just Epic Collections) to ship on tissue paper with curling covers, given the lead time printers need.
But hopefully word has already reached the-powers-that-be and something is being done to remedy this.
Thanks for all the feedback on the Jurgen's Thor Omnibus. I know it's worth getting, but I really wish Romita J.R. was on the art all the way.
Marvel Masterworks are such a bane/pleasure for me. They were the first premium addition comic books I bought, but they have been put in such a strange corner with the rise of the Omnibus and Absolute. I have the Fantastic Four by Kirby Lee in this weird tpb/hardback Masterwork collection. I know I should get the Omnibus, but once upon a time, it was hard to find the masterworks at the small town comic shop. I would love to win the lottery and get all the Spiderman and Kirby Lee FF Omnibus. I didn't pass on the Thor, but that's only because I had never bought a Thor masterwork. Except for volume 7 which seems to be everywhere. One day, I will read all the Kirby Lee Thor, followed by the Kirby New Gods, followed by the Kirby Eternals, followed by Simonson Thor, followed by Simonson Orion, and then the Gaiman Eternals for good measure.

Anybody gonna pick up that Marvel Studios 10 year omnibus this week? Somebody convince me to xD
So does the new Darkhold tpb collecting the entire 90s series suffer the same fate as the recent epics and tpbs?
I'm sure you will be only one of a handful who purchase this Omnibus. I reckon it will be a very nice book but I can't imagine it even charting and if so not moving more than 300 units or in that vicinity. I suspect it to hit the bargain bin and be there for quite a while.
Is the Carnage omnibus a good buy if I've never read the character?

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
Tempted by the Clone Saga omnibuses.
Is it understandable without having read any of the prior Spider-Man issues?
